  • Wellness at Retail: the Continuing Story
    Wellness at Retail: The Continuing Story Expanding the delivery of health and wellness services thru retail channels has been a long-term trend in the United States. In our last article, Wellness at Retail: An Introduction, we traced highlights of this trend, including: the evolution of the health food industry into mainline grocery, i.e. Whole Foods; the integration of traditional healthcare services into large format retail, i.e. the appearance of clinics in chains like Kroger and Target; and the collaboration of retailers and insurance companies in the promotion of healthy eating, i.e. Go365 by Walmart and Humana. Since then, this trend has continued and, like everything around us, been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pharmacy, and grocery in particular, have emerged as cornerstone brick-and- mortar retail formats, compelled to protect employees while serving increased customer demand. These essential retail workers have emerged as frontline heroes, risking their lives by reporting to work, and the retailers have assumed leadership roles within their communities, in protecting the public by providing PPE to staff and requiring all shoppers to wear masks. Many retailers have initiated new health and wellness offerings or expanded existing programs during the current crisis. Major retailers like Walmart and CVS(1), as well as independents like SpartanNash(2), have assisted in providing testing. Online nutrition services are expanding rapidly as grocers, like ShopRite(3) and Stop & Shop(4), have added digital dietitians, nutrition coaching, recipe demonstrations and other services. And Weis Markets has taken it a step farther with the addition of a video-chat platform providing counseling on the management of chronic conditions, like diabetes and high blood pressure, along with other nutrition services.
